Since the advertized thickness of these bags ("2 mil") offers little guarantee of uniform thickness among various brands, how does this brand fare? From the reviews it's clear that one maker's 2 mil bag is either substantially flimsier or stronger than...

The brand of bag I purchased holds everything that I'm using it for just fine. I haven't had any problems with any of the bags.

Feels like the same thickness as the Foodsaver brand bags. I've used about half of 1 roll and have had no problems. I'll purchase these again.

Okay, not sure how you measured them. I can say that they work just as well as the brand name rolls at a much lower price. The rolls are more convenient for me than pre made bags and cheaper too. These rolls do what they are made to do.

The thickness of the straps are fine, its just how they're sown into the bag. The strap stayed attached to the bag when it was carrying to much weight and the panel it was attached to ripped apart from the rest of the bag.

The bags I purchased were DVC Brand and are three ply. They do not look like typical "fabric" bags, but of a composition (similar to the underside of some mattress pads). We have mild allergies to dust and animal dander in our household. From my experience, these bags perform as well as the ones I've purchased from the Sears store for only a fraction of the cost. The bags work well with holding in the vacuumed dust and dirt. I have never had any problems with them and I would definitely buy them again. I've also purchased the pleated rectangle filters that fit on the back of the upright and they fit and work as well. Hope this helps. The bags I purchased were DVC Brand and are three ply.

Marilyn - I'm not exactly sure of the thickness as it isn't stated by the vendor, but they are certainly a bit thicker than the name brand. I am touching both this one and the name brand right now. For what it's worth, I wouldn't even consider buying the name band any longer.

Hi. I don't know how many mills thick they are, but they are thicker than the bread bags at the store. They are more sturdier, also. I really like them, & I have used two bags this week. I am very PLEASED with them. Hope this helps!

Thin is the operative word here. Without breaking out the micrometer I'd say the bags are about the same thickness as your average gym bag. The cases have minimal padding so be forewarned that they will offer little protection for anything other than scratches and moisture. That being said the overall quality of the bags, to include the integrity of the exterior shell/material and stitching, is good. The interior lining is marginal and prone to rips and tears. I would give an overall grade of B- due to the fact that they offer the anticipated and reasonable level of protection for my purposes which is commensurate with the price paid. Definitely not for hardcore touring or rough handling. Thin is the operative word here. Without breaking out the micrometer I'd say the bags are about the same thickness as your average gym bag.

This sleeping bag is one of the thickness I've ever had for it's weather/temp ratings. Yes, it's much thicker than it looks but I would always suggest a base surface mat or pad to place the sleeping bag on if at all possible. If you're trying to travel light and therefore don't want the extra weight of a mat to carry, then I would recommend a different sleeping bag entirely. However, that type of sleeping bag is in the high-end category and you'd better be ready for the prices you'll be dealing with. ;)

I have used Great Value (Walmart brand) tall kitchen bags also and had no problem. I just prefer the Simplehuman. They really are stronger and I have not had any leakage or tearing at all with them no matter how full I stuff the can.

The bags are actually pretty thin, but I haven't had any problems with them ripping. Sadly, I haven't always been able to say the same about other thicker bags I have tried. All in all, I'm pretty happy with them.

yes it does I like this brand over one other brand that claims it is 8 mil thick. The BCW is thickerhope this helps you

These are the thicknesses of the pouches. The 5 mil is thicker than a 3 mil.

I think 80 gauge is thinner than 8 mils. We use 4 mil bags and they are thicker than the wrap.

I think it varies based on the thickness/size of each one. They are all of varied thickness. My bag came with about 25, but some were as thin as a pencil.

They are very strong. We overstuff ours, every time, trying to get the most out of each bag and they always come out easy with no leaks or tears. I'm no sure of the mil, but as other have said they are a very sturdy bag.

Not sure what your asking. These rolls i believe to be several guages thicker than the traditional rolls you purchase at retail stores. You can feel the difference if you hold the two together.
